We focus exclusively on private, one-on-one training. Our approach is built on the belief that dogs learn best in an individualized setting, where both the trainer and the dog can give their full attention to the dog’s unique needs and progress.
We work with dogs of every breed and size. From tiny Chihuahuas to giant Great Danes—and everything in between—we have experience training them all.
At Elite K9 Academy, our philosophy is to train with respect and care. Much like a mother wolf guiding her pups, we rely on structure, consistency, and trust—not food rewards—as the foundation of our training process.
Not at all. Dogs can learn at any age, as long as their owners are open to learning alongside them.
The first step is to schedule an in-home consultation with one of our Elite K9 Academy trainers. Meeting in your dog’s natural environment allows us to better understand its behavior and needs, while also giving you the chance to learn more about our philosophy and training style. This evaluation usually lasts about an hour and can be booked any day of the week between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Training duration depends on the program you choose.
Private Lessons: Offered in packages of 5 one-hour sessions, scheduled once per week over 5 weeks. This structure gives both you and your dog time to practice between lessons, which is essential for success.
Board & Train: A 10-day immersive program where your dog lives and trains with an Elite K9 Academy trainer. Afterward, you’ll receive 5 follow-up lessons (once per week) to learn what your dog has mastered and how to maintain the results at home.
